Native band in Canada rejects $1.15 billion inducement from gas pipeline builder

2015-05-15 01:30:49| Oil & Gas - Topix.net

A native band in northern British Columbia has voted to reject a $1.15 billion , 40-year payout from a consortium of Asian and North American energy companies that want to cross its land with a pipeline and build a liquefied natural gas terminal. The action by the Lax Kw'alaams came after meetings in their village, Price Rupert and Vancouver saw near-unanimous opposition from the 3,600-member Aboriginal First Nation band.
